Richard M. Nixon
Defeat doesn't finish a man, quit does. A man is not finished when he's defeated. He's finished when he quits.

Richard M. Nixon
I was not lying. I said things that later on seemed to be untrue.
Richard M. Nixon
If you are ever going to lie, you go to jail for the lie rather than the crime. So believe me, don't ever lie.
Richard M. Nixon
I have earned every cent. And in all of my years of public life I have never obstructed justice.
Richard M. Nixon
The three most difficult words to speak are, I was wrong.
Richard M. Nixon
I believe in building bridges, but we should only build our end of the bridge.
Richard M. Nixon
The time has come for us to draw the line. The time has come for the responsible leaders of both political parties to take a stand against overgrown Government and for the American taxpayer.
Richard M. Nixon
In the long term we can hope that religion will change the nature of man and reduce conflict. But history is not encouraging in this respect. The bloodiest wars in history have been religious wars.
Richard M. Nixon
There are times when an abortion is necessary. I know that. When you have a black and a white.
Richard M. Nixon
I want to be sure...that nothing is done on these veterans. Is that understood?...Is the word out? That they are not to touch em, they are not to do a thing?...Get a hold of the district police they're not to touch them, they're to do nothing: Just let em raise Hell.

Don't try to take on a new personality it doesn't work.
